What Zynga Game Cards Are Used For

These cards are able to be exchanged for cash for the game that they play that is developed by Zynga (see games above). That cash is then used for whatever in game item that the player wants. This varies by game and can include many different things or upgrades to the game only available by the game card.

If you play Mafia Wars or FarmVille with your family member or friend that you want to gift something specific, use the zynga game cards yourself and then send out fun presents in game. To do this, go to the market area and select which item you want to buy for them, and send it. Not sure which item to gift? Ask them sometime which item they’d want if they could buy anything with Zynga cash. This will give you a pretty good idea to start with!

If you want to surprise them, give them something they would like based on their interests. For example, if your friend plays FarmVille and lives in or loves to visit New Orleans, LA, they would probably love some of the French Quarter buildings that are available in the market. If they love shopping and clothes, they would love the game card to buy new costumes and clothes for their Farmville avatar.
